The 10 Best Danube Cruises from Bratislava

10 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.2 average  ·  from $33

The river is why the city is here, and the cheapest way to see that is from the water. These 10 run downstream to Devín, upstream to Hainburg and across to Vienna, from an hour on a speedboat to a lazy afternoon with lunch aboard.

Bratislava: Brunch & Cruise on Danube

3.Brunch & Cruise on Danube

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 9 reviews · 3 hours · from $61

A Sunday brunch Danube cruise in Bratislava with a buffet, Castle views, and family animator on board for about 3 hours.

“The cruise was lovely but very short. It wasn’t quite as described in the blurb. Most of the 4 hours was docked at the quay for the buffet. Then the boat went up for 20 minutes turned and went the other way and turned. Lovely food however I was expecting a two/three hour cruise with a small amount of food. Really good but please explain in blurb. I can’t eat very much and would have booked a longer cruise and left out the buffet if I could have.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 2 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $48

Guided kayaking on Bratislava’s Danube Karloveské branch for beginners, with wildlife chances, basics instruction, and a comfy riverside base.

“We booked online in the morning, hoping to kayak that afternoon. The online chat said we could arrive at any time all day until they closed and we’d get the kayaks for three hours. When we arrived around 2 pm, there was no one at the building. We called the contact number and the person said he was driving to Croatia and would call us back. We waited 15 minutes. A few other tourists then arrived with canoes. They said they knew the owners personally, and when they called the owners we found out we were the very first people to ever book with Viator and the system was not…”
